Six Mile Run Reservoir Site, Protected area in Franklin Township, New Jersey.
The Six Mile Run Reservoir Site spans 3,037 acres of state land featuring hiking trails through forests, streams, and former agricultural fields.
The state acquired this land in 1970 for a reservoir project, but alternative water sources led to its transformation into a recreational area by 1993.
The site contains remnants of 18th and 19th century farmhouses, Dutch-framed barns, windmills, and silos, representing New Jersey's agricultural heritage.
Four marked trails totaling 13.5 miles accommodate hiking, biking, and horseback riding, with parking available at Canal Road, Jacques Lane, and Route 27.
The name originates from early surveyors who measured the distance from King's Highway to the stream crossing point as six miles.
